Dusty Reagan working at Conjunctured

Here is a fairly quick oil sketch portrait of Dusty, cofounder of Conjunctured. I painted Dusty on the same night that I painted John Erik, and the light was failing (I try and paint by ambient or overhead incandescent light). I hope that they will indulge me and let me paint them again.

Painting people from life allows the artist to stare at their subject, and usually the model understands the necessity of this deep scrutiny. I know that a painting is successful when I capture something of their personality. Here we have a Dusty that just came out while I was painting him. This is Dusty, ” The Mini-Viking”. I’m not kidding. It’s there, deep inside of him. See the hint of redness in coloring, the manly facial structure, and the shirt that looks like fur! This is what came out while I was painting him, and I was surprised!

Dusty is conquering new internet territory, exploring new realms, and venturing into unknown seas. AND, he has a dog. Let’s just hope that he doesn’t take on some of the nasty habits of those Vikings. That would make the workplace at Conjunctured kind of difficult!

If you want to know more about Dusty Reagan, you should look at his bio. He is really smart!

I have two more cofounders of Conjunctured to paint: David H. Walker and Cesar Torres. We will see what happens… 🙂

Please leave comments – I need to know what ya’ll like to see/talk about!
